Laptop - fit for purpose?

Space one of the most used keys....so wear and tear quite probable. Or you've got something under it. I'd try using an air spray on it.

Ah it's possibly "misuse". You could argue a keyboard should last longer but the space tends to get hammered whereas the normal keys obviously don't suffer so much.

In fact I'm hammering mine right now, it makes me feel like I'm still using a typewriter which is oddly therapeutic.

Check your thumb for callouses...if so then it's probably your technique!

I use/prefer a cordless keyboard.

Can't you just get a USB or cordless keyboard?

Have you been playing that song tapper game where you hammer out a tune on the spacebar and it guesses what song it is??

Have you tried blasting it with air to check nothing is stuck?

Have had 2 £500 laptops, both which lasted at least 4 years, and both failed due to battery errors!
